Christopher Hitchens: Wow People!


Wow People! I have received some interesting comments on my YouTube video "Christopher Hitchens Should Go Back to England!"
If you know jeanlovesyoulongtime you know that Chris, seen here, is not one of her favorites. I guess I began to dislike him when he decided to rent a little red Corvette and travel Route 66. Since jeanlovesyoulongtime lives in New Mexico when Mr. Hitchens' story came out in Vanity Fair Magazine about his travels, he was down right rude about the people who lived in Gallup, especially the Native Americans. And to imagine that a nationally known magazine would let him call them such deadbeats who sell their wares at every business stop, was just not nice. No sir! What makes him better than anyone else except his own interpretation of his God-like complex!
Well, I didn't buy Mr. Hitchens' last book, "God is Not Great," and I don't really care to read his memoir: "Hitch-22" (title kind of stolen here from Joseph Heller I think who wrote Catch 22). I really can't imagine anything nice this man could say about anyone but himself so it's probably better he does write a memoir instead of another blasphemous book!
Chris is an atheist and loves to talk about it with his good friend Bill Maher. Actually last Friday on Real Time With Bill Maher, Chris and Bill chuckled about the Catholic faith and made fun of something they don't believe in, sort of like two idiots talking about something they know nothing about. If we would have thrown Glenn Beck in there we could have had three stooges!
I don't like the way Hitchens and Maher continue to talk about all Catholic priests being pedophiles either. I mean don't most of you think pedophiles think becoming a Catholic priest would be the perfect job? The priesthood does not turn men into pedophiles folks, it's the other way around. And I'm sure there are plenty of Rabbis and Ministers of other faiths that love little boys too.
What does Hitchens know about churches and faith anyway? He is originally from England and we all know how their church came about. When Henry VIII couldn't marry the gal he wanted he said screw the Pope and came up with the Church of England-- run by a monarch. And Chris says Church and State should ALWAYS be separated. Perhaps he needs to look at his homeland before he makes fun of other churches and religions.
To top that off, I don't think Christopher Hitchens can appear on television without a drinky poo or two or many. You can tell by his wobbly appearance and he engages in public speaking a lot so I don't think it's nerves.
Last Friday when Chris appeared on the Real Time With Bill Maher on HBO, he was wearing an Irish Flag pin. What? I know, I thought the same thing people! Good old Chris was probably still celebrating St. Patrick's day and the brew it traditionally brings.
I guess it's OK for Hitchens to believe in St. Patrick, I mean after all, it's just another day for the dude to drink! What can I say? Christopher Hitchens? Wow People, Wow!

  1. I'm sure nobody reads this blog but i just happened to stumble upon it and want to point some things out. Hitchens has plenty of good things to say about fellow atheists, it's just the religious that push his buttons.

    Second I can speak for Chris but not so much Bill Maher when saying that he knows more about the Christian religion than probably even you. He has read through religious scriptures countless times and knows exactly what he is talking about. Your argument that pedophiles become priests because they're pedophiles is strange, Hitchens says nothing along the lines of religion making men molest children. He just talks about the ridiculously large number of molestations that are committed by priests. Also in that he speaks of the outrageous policy they have to cover up molestations(which the current pope wrote years before he became the pope).

    Lastly what a stupid attempt at being clever or sounding smart, Hitchens lives in America now so he obviously doesn't agree with England being run basically by the Catholic Church. His homeland is part of all churches and religions therefore he disagrees with his homeland too. What was this part about anyways? Also what is the point of pointing out he has an Irish Flag pin on? How in any way does this prove he was celebrating Saint Patrick?
